A letter from a dead man. A house filled with silent clocks. A secret that has been waiting twelve years to awaken.

n

London, 1874.

n

When Eleanor Vale receives a letter written in the unmistakable hand of her father—twelve years after his death—she is drawn back into the mystery he tried to leave behind.

n

The message leads her to Ashcombe House, a decaying estate hidden beyond Hampstead Heath, where every clock has stopped at exactly eleven minutes before midnight. Inside, the servants speak in riddles, a woman dressed in mourning seems to know more than she admits, and footsteps move through passages concealed behind the walls.

n

Beneath the house lies a machine unlike anything Eleanor has ever seen: a vast and forbidden mechanism built to preserve the final moments of the dead.

n

But Ashcombe House does not merely remember.

n

It repeats.

n

As the clocks begin to move again and the final hour approaches, Eleanor must uncover the truth about her father’s role in the creation of the machine—and decide whether the souls trapped inside it can still be saved.

n

Because some secrets are not buried.

n

Some are waiting to be wound again.
